Happier is a personal journaling app designed to help users capture memories, reflect on emotions, and find daily inspiration. By combining guided prompts, mood tracking, and multimedia entries, Happier transforms journaling into an engaging and mindfulness-driven experience.
We need a journaling app that encourages users to reflect on their emotions, document meaningful moments, and stay inspired—while keeping the process simple and enjoyable.
My goal was to create an interface that makes journaling effortless, meaningful, and visually engaging by: Crafting an intuitive and calming design that encourages daily use Implementing interactive prompts to guide users in their journaling journey Enhancing personalization with mood tracking and multimedia entries Designing a fluid, distraction-free experience for self-reflection
The research process is the foundation of any successful design project. By understanding the needs, challenges, and goals of both users and the business, I can create solutions that are both effective and impactful. This process involves a series of key stages that guide me toward a well-informed design.
A user flow outlines the steps users take to accomplish tasks within the product, ensuring a smooth, logical, and intuitive experience from start to finish.
In the wireframing stage, I create low-fidelity sketches or prototypes of key screens, focusing on layout, structure, and functionality without the distraction of visual design. This allows me to test and refine the user experience early on.

In this stage, I build a design system that includes reusable components, style guides, and patterns. This ensures consistency across the product and makes future updates easier to manage.
At this stage, I focus on developing and integrating the features defined in earlier stages, ensuring they function as intended and meet the user and business requirements.
A curated selection of motivational quotes, reflections, and prompts to encourage users to start their journaling journey each day.
A timeline view of past moments, allowing users to revisit and reflect on their previous entries.
Users can create journal entries with text, images, and voice notes, making it easy to capture important moments in a personal and expressive way.
An integrated mood tracker with emotion-based prompts that encourages users to reflect on their feelings and gain insight into their emotional well-being over time.
The final stage involves handing off the design to the development team, providing them with all necessary assets, specifications, and guidelines to bring the design to life seamlessly.
Happier brings a fresh, intuitive approach to journaling by blending self-reflection, emotional awareness, and multimedia storytelling.
By making journaling engaging and effortless, the app has helped users build meaningful habits and stay connected with their emotions.
I'm excited to continue enhancing Happier with new features that further support mindfulness and self-expression.
We work with both small startups and large corporations.
